Chiang Mai, Thailand

So here we are in Thailand! At the moment we are in Chiang Mai. We just finished a 3 day trek in a jungle about an hour outside of the city. We took an elephant ride and went bamboo rafting along with staying in the hill tribe village of Karen. We are now wondering around Chiang Mai looking at different wats (Buddhist temples) and are on the quest of getting Lily a Sak Yan tattoo (given by monks with either bamboo or a long metal stylus). We head back to Bangkok tomorrow and then straight down to Krabi (where there is supposedly some great climbing). The people have been really nice and we have only fell into one of their little tourist scams (but it didn't cost us anything). Well, enough of this emailing...off to explore!
